Generator
Clearance from operable
windows, doors or any
openings in the wall.
Clearance from the ends and front of the generator
must be 36in. (914mm). This would include shrubs,
trees and any kind of vegetation shorter than 12in.
(305mm) in height. Vegetation taller than 12in.
(305mm) in height must have a clearance of 60in.
(1524mm). Clearance at the top should be a
minimum of 60in. (1524mm) from any structure,
overhang or projections from the wall. The generator
should not be placed under a deck or other structure
that is closed in and would limit or constrain air flow.
These guidelines are based upon fire
testing of the generator enclosure and
the manufacturer’s requirement for air
flow for proper operation. Local codes
may be different and more restrictive
than what is described here.
